Liu Wan's memory of his hometown has long been blurred, and whenever he recalls his hometown, his mind is the desperate look in his mother's eyes when she was sunk in a pig cage.

It also made him full of hatred for everything in his hometown, because all his tragedies were brought about by his own relatives.

He didn't know why it wasn't his own relatives who killed his mother and made him an orphan.

He still remembered the name of his hometown, which also gave him a basis for investigating everything in his hometown.

After coming to Zhangde Mansion, he had already sent several teams of personnel to his hometown to investigate, including Jinyiwei and personnel from the Counseling Department.

With official documents in their hands and the support of the local government, they were able to investigate the past in a few days.

His father was a shrewd hunter at the beginning, and because he was good at hunting, the family did not have a hard time, and because there was often prey for sale, the small life was prosperous.

However, because of his skill in hunting, his father eventually became the target of his prey and died in the mouth of his prey.

There are many tigers in Taihang Mountain, and it is not surprising that they died in the mouth of a tiger.

It's just that after his father died, his mother was less than thirty, and according to the rules of the court, she had to remarry.

The family wanted his mother to marry a second-rate son in the family, but his mother was unwilling, so she found a down-to-earth man from a foreign tribe.

All disputes originate from interests, Liu Wan's father because of his ability, in addition to inheriting three acres of land, he earned a lot of silver by selling prey in those years, and the land price was cheap at that time, so he bought another eight acres of land.

Eight acres of land is not a small amount for a poor family at the foot of Taihang Mountain. The three acres of land originally belonged to the Liu family, and if Liu Wan's mother wanted to remarry, she couldn't take it away.

But the eight acres of land bought after this did not belong to the Liu family, and Liu Wan's mother remarried and wanted to take it away.

Just for the sake of these eight acres of land, the Liu family opened a clan elder association and sentenced Liu Wan's mother to death.

got the clearest result, Liu Wan's heart was extremely angry, and there was a sense of comical.

Eight acres of land, one life, and even the government didn't go through, but several clan elders of the family met their heads and decided.

No wonder His Royal Highness has been saying that it is necessary to strengthen the role of the government at the grassroots level and suppress the family forces.

Although this family, in many cases, can become an effective supplement to the government and manage the villagers, their position is always external!

Closed, conservative, not enterprising, only nesting, this is the family ......

Liu Wan is no longer a child who did not have the slightest ability, living in the palace with the most complicated power struggle, and following Zhu Zhanji's side, he has long learned to look at affairs from a more macro perspective.

In this matter, he wants to avenge his mother, but he also has to do this matter beautifully.

It's a pity because he can't remember who took his sister in the first place. Although the investigators easily found out everything that happened back then, they didn't want to startle the snake, so they didn't ask where the sister is now.

When those villagers talked about sinking Liu Wan's mother into a pig cage, they could talk about the Tao, and everything was very detailed. But because my sister, who was less than three years old at the time, was involved in the stability of the adoptive family, most people didn't know about it.

However, this is enough, as long as he can find the specific participants when he returns to his hometown, everything can be investigated clearly.

Starting from Zhangde Mansion, he first passed through Yutang Town, where Liu Wan had fled, which is also Cai Yuxing's hometown.

The Cai family never thought that they would be able to see their daughter who they thought they would never see. Since they knew that Yu Yu was elected to the palace, they could only pretend that they had never given birth to this daughter.

But now, when her daughter appeared in front of them, her mother, who was almost fifty, cried heartbreakingly.

Cai Yuxin was also crying, and no one could persuade her.

The Cai family is a small landlord in the local area, and the family power is not small, and it is a big family.

But in the whole of Daming, they are just a very ordinary family. Most of the palace maids who can enter the palace are from this class, because only women from the small landlord class can have concerns and are easier to control.

They are lucky to be blessed by the emperor or rewarded to meritorious heroes, but the vast majority of them can only grow old silently in the palace and die quietly.

Cai Yuxin exchanged all the accumulated silver money for silk and satin and handed it to his mother, for them, these silk and silk from the palace were more valuable than gold and silver.

Liu Wan also added a few pieces of muslin as gifts, which had not been developed by the Ministry of Industry for a long time. Zhu Zhanji likes this kind of underwear made of muslin the most, compared with silk, muslin is more sweat-absorbing and more comfortable to wear.

If something is good at the top, it will be effective at the bottom.

Because of Zhu Zhanji's liking, the price of this kind of muslin is very expensive now, comparable to the price of ordinary silk.

Cai Yuxing's reunion with his family is happy, but Liu Wan's reunion with his clansmen started with a lawsuit.

He left Cai Yuxing at home to reunite with his family for a few days and came to Linzhou with his escort.

Xu Gang, the magistrate of Linzhou, personally went to the county to welcome Qincha's return to his hometown, but as soon as they met, after greetings, Liu Wan handed Xu Gang a complaint.

As a minister, Liu Wan wanted to deal with a few villagers just by raising his hands.

But there was no point in doing that, his mother was long dead, and if he had beaten and killed his people, then the people's sympathy for him would have turned into disgust.

Because no matter what, attacking one's own people is not acceptable to the world.

For thousands of years, this land has basically been based on family inheritance, and even if the dynasty changes, it has never changed.

The reason why Liu Wan chose to sue instead of settling the matter privately was to learn from Ma Dezhong.

Ma Dezhong sued the Kong family because his parents' ancestral graves were dug up, and now this lawsuit is still being tried.

Through this case, His Royal Highness Taisun has basically achieved his goal, and the reputation of the Kong family has been completely pulled down, and now almost everyone in the world knows that after the so-called saint, it is just a family that bullies people, and there are many pickled things.

And now he is a minister of the imperial mission, but he does not bully others, but only sues the family with the law of the court. Although it will make people not read to him, His Highness should use this incident to achieve some goals!

As for Ben ......, since his mother was sunk in a pig cage, he only hates.

He doesn't hate anyone when he becomes a little eunuch, without his master, he would have died a long time ago, although he is no longer a human being, but after all, he is still alive and can enjoy glory and wealth.

He now expects his sister to be alive, his only relative.

Xu Gang finished reading the complaint and pondered for a moment before saying: "Young Eunuch Liu, eighteen years have passed since the incident, if your sister is still alive, I am afraid that she will also marry now." ”

Liu Wan nodded and said: "If this is the result, Xu's parents can give a light sentence at their discretion, if my sister suffers misfortune, and the people who participated in it at the beginning, I want them to pay for their lives." ”

This is Liu Wan's attitude to show himself, although Xu Gang knows that it is difficult to kill people in this matter, but as long as they are conscripted into labor, it is difficult to live.

Therefore, even if this matter is handled gently, it is not difficult to want a few lives.

He immediately responded: "This matter is on the lower officials, and tomorrow I will let the officials go to Shanyang Village to arrest people." This court has always forbidden lynching, and it is easy to lose the conscience of a few people by sinking into a pig cage. ”

Liu Wan hugged his fists and said: "Everything is up to Xu's parents." ”

Xu Gang hurriedly replied: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, the lower officials have already prepared a banquet, just waiting for Liu Shaojian to appreciate his face." ”

Xu Gang entertained Liu Wan and his party in the best restaurant in the county, and Liu Wan rested here that night.

All night, he didn't sleep well, and his mother's desperate eyes kept coming to his mind, and he couldn't help but burst into tears.

Shanyang Village is a mountain village fifteen miles west of Linzhou City, located at the foot of Taihang Mountain.

Although Zhangde Mansion has always been one of the main battlefields of the north-south conquest, because of its proximity to Taihang Mountain, the people's lives are not sad.

The ancient mountain village seems to have not changed for decades, and Liu Wan looked at everything strange and familiar in front of him, and many childhood memories came back to his heart.

The little ditch where his mother used to lead him to do the laundry, the persimmon tree that his father used to carry him on his shoulder to pick the fruit, many vague memories are now recalled.

Even his former home is still very well preserved, a family of clansmen he has no memory lives in, and they are silent in the face of the big people who suddenly come to the door.

When asked, they are also surnamed Liu, which means that they are also their own people. But when he saw his house occupied by them, he did not feel the slightest joy at seeing his loved ones.

After walking around the village, many people have forgotten that Liu Wan has no idea of recognizing them.

Out of the village, he walked towards the hillside on the west side, he had already inquired clearly, after his mother died, she was still buried in the ancestral grave of the Liu family, buried with his dead father.

Wu Cheng, the county official who came with Liu Wan, didn't dare to disturb Liu Wan, and waited for him to walk outside the village before asking, "My lord, can you arrest people?" ”

Liu Wan nodded and said: "First arrest all the people on the list, I have to ask about the whereabouts of my sister first, and when I pay tribute to my parents, I hope to get good news." ”

The people in the village were still looking at this group of big men curiously, and the majestic officials on weekdays didn't even dare to take a breath in front of them.

But as soon as they were about to leave, these servants turned back to the tyranny of the past, and Wu Cheng shouted: "Work in pairs, arrest people according to the list, don't leave me alone." ”

The villagers, who were still watching the excitement, were shocked, and seeing the officials rushing over, the head of the Liu family hurriedly begged: "Lord Wu, what is this for?" We are all law-abiding citizens! ”

Although Wu Cheng is not a member of the stream, but in the face of a group of hillbillies, in this county, he is the sky.

Facing the patriarch of the Liu clan, he smiled coldly: "Law-abiding and good people...... Eighteen years ago, you used clan rules to punish the court, and sank Liu Yiyi's wife Mao in a pig cage, and now the bitter lord has come back to complain. None of you who participated in Mao's death could escape......"

The elder of the Liu clan was shocked and shouted: "Lord Wu, this Mao clan is a refugee fleeing the famine, how can there be a bitter master?" What's more, in the countryside and villages, it is customary for this clan to punish people......"

Wu Cheng shook his head and said: "Even if the imperial court wants to sentence people to death, it has to be reviewed layer by layer, your clan rules can deal with civil conflicts, when can you sentence people to death?"

What's more, now this bitter master is no one else, speaking of which, it is also a member of your Liu clan, that is, Liu Yiyi and Liu Wan, the son of the Mao family, who is also the current eunuch of the country, and the minister of the Qin Mission.

Patriarch Liu, there is a big man in your Liu family! However, Lord Liu doesn't have the slightest affection for the family, and he has never recognized you. ”

Patriarch Liu felt that the white-skinned and beardless young man in the middle of the crowd was a little familiar, but he didn't dare to guess that it was his own clan, and now he was surprised and happy when he heard Wu Cheng say this.

"That's my Liu family's seed...... I've become a big shot! But this ...... This ......"

"Don't be happy too early, if it weren't for Lord Liu still wanting to ask about his sister's whereabouts, you people would have been arrested early in the morning. Now, be honest with me. Before the Mao family was sunk by you in the pig cage, where did you take her three-year-old daughter? ”

Seeing one clansman after another being arrested, Patriarch Liu came to his senses and hurriedly said: "That Cuilian is also the seed of my Liu family, how can we treat her badly." At the beginning, Chang Xiucai in Xiawan Village, Linzhou City, had no daughters, so we sent Cuilian to Chang's house to enjoy happiness! ”

Wu Cheng didn't expect to know the result so easily, and said with a smile: "If that's the case, Lord Liu may still take care of some old feelings, but a lawsuit is indispensable for you...... Take. ”

The Liu family was infighting, and the others were happy to watch the excitement. Liu Wan came back from worshipping his parents, Wu Cheng had already arrested everyone, and sent two officials to Xiawan Village to find Chang Xiucai.

Liu Wan heard that his sister-in-law was living well, and his heart was also excited, he had no nostalgia for his hometown, and even the ancestral home and the eight acres of land that were encroached upon.

"It turns out that her name is Cuilian, but I don't know how she is doing now?"

Wu Chengfu said with a smile: "Lord Liu, I also inquired about it just now, Chang Xiucai in Xiawan Village has a good family background, and Ling Mei is also good at his family, and she can read and write." In the twelfth year, she married into the Fan family, who opened a restaurant in the county, and when she talked about it, she also saw Ling Mei. ”

Liu Wan hurriedly asked: "What about the Fan family's family background?" How many sons did she marry? Have you ever been bullied? ”

For the big man from the capital, Wu Cheng had such a good opportunity, of course he wanted to tie up.

"If I am not mistaken, Sister Ling should be married to the second son of the Fan family, the couple has a grocery store, gave birth to two daughters and a son, and lived a very good life.

I have already sent someone to Xiawan Village to find Chang Xiucai, and asked someone to take him directly into the city, and when the adults return to Linzhou, I will directly arrange for your brothers and sisters to meet......"

Liu Wan's eyes looked at a group of crying Liu clansmen, and a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes. "They've finally done a good thing!"

(I'm sorry, it's only four thousand today, and eight thousand tomorrow it's up to eight thousand)
